A demented idiot does.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

He became a minister, not a priest.
I don't think he's lying and completely making up the whole thing. I think he did go through something that made him entirely change his views on the world. Whether or not that "something" was a supernatural occurrence or just all completely inside his head, I don't know. But I'd assume probably the latter.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

He was a former arts prof so in his NDE he saw 80 new primary colours, and he was able to predict world events in the future. He became a priest afterwards. What do you guys think, assuming he was not lying about his experience?

Just once I'd like to see some woo apologetics that isn't a steaming pile of shit. Something actually challenging. Be it religion, or any other kind.
But I guess I'm hoping for the impossible. It wouldn't be woo if it could be adequately defended.
